I am a bilingual (Chinese-Mandarin) bicultural licensed clinical marriage and family therapist licensed in Maryland, District of Columba, and Virginia. I obtained a Ph.D. in Family Science and a M.S. in Couple and Family Therapy from University of Maryland at College Park, U.S.A. and a M.A. in Parenting Education from Beijing Normal University, China. Since 2022, I have successfully completed evaluations for extreme hardship cases and U-visa cases.
I completed advanced training on psychological evaluations for Petitions for Extreme Hardship Waivers (I-601 or I-601A Waiver), Asylum Cases, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) cases, and U-visa cases and court preparation training from Georgia King.
I usually meet with clients twice, online or in-person, each time lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. Based on the assessments, I provide a very thorough, between 15-25 pages report depending on the type of evaluation.

Hello, my name is Dr. Yesenia Teran, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I provide psychotherapy and conduct immigration psychological evaluations for use in legal proceedings.
In addition to formal clinical training, I have firsthand familiarity with the immigration psychological evaluation process from a non-clinical role prior to licensure. This background informs my understanding of the structure, timelines, and documentation requirements involved in immigration-related evaluations, which may be helpful for both legal professionals and individuals seeking services.
Immigration psychological evaluations are conducted using established assessment methods and structured clinical interviews to assess psychological functioning and clinically relevant factors. Evaluations are documented clearly and thoroughly for legal review and are completed in accordance with ethical guidelines and professional standards.
